A new Swedish reference for total and prepubertal height
AIM: We aimed to develop up‐to‐date references with standard deviation scores (SDS) for prepubertal and total height. METHODS: Longitudinal length/height measures from 1572 healthy children (51.5% boys) born at term in 1989‐1991 to non‐smoking mothers and Nordic parents were obtained from the GrowUp...

description | AIM: We aimed to develop up‐to‐date references with standard deviation scores (SDS) for prepubertal and total height. METHODS: Longitudinal length/height measures from 1572 healthy children (51.5% boys) born at term in 1989‐1991 to non‐smoking mothers and Nordic parents were obtained from the GrowUp 1990 Gothenburg cohort. A total height SDS reference from birth to adult height was constructed from Quadratic‐Exponential‐Pubertal‐Stop (QEPS) function estimated heights based on individual growth curves. A prepubertal height SDS reference, showing growth trajectory in the absence of puberty, was constructed using the QE functions. RESULTS: The total height reference showed taller prepubertal mean heights (for boys 1‐2 cm; for girls 0.5‐1.0 cm) with a narrower normal within ± 2SDS range vs the GrowUp 1974 Gothenburg reference. Adult height was increased by + 0.9 cm for women (168.6 cm) and by + 1.6 cm for men (182.0 cm). Height in children growing at −2SDS (the cut‐off used for referrals) differed up to 2 cm vs the GrowUp 1974 Gothenburg reference, 3 cm vs Swedish 1981 references and World Health Organisation (WHO) 0‐5 years standard, and 6‐8 cm vs the WHO 5‐19 years reference. CONCLUSION: Up‐to‐date total and prepubertal height references offer promise of improved growth monitoring compared with the references used in Sweden today. |
